 |
|
Hi guys, I searched everywhere on the web for help with this, but can you tell me if its possible to edit text in a picture...
for example, a street sign. Lets say I wanted to make the street sign say "Happy Birthday", in the exact style of the original sign, making it look genuine???? |

Welcome to the forums Mtaylor87, In short the answer is yes, there are no specific tutorials that I know of however. As always a picture speaks a thousand words in these matters. If you are from the UK, I can help by telling you what font they use on signs over here, Transport Medium and Motorway Permanent, if that helps any.

The thing is, it isnt actually a street sign or anythin i want editting.
Basically, i've taken a screen shot of something on the internet... I have no idea what the fonts are, and I just want to edit the information that's written.
Seems really hard to explain, but I suppose if you imagine, I took a screenshot of a programme like windows media player.
The tabs list "Title" "Length" etc etc. Now I know, its probably easy to determine what this font is etc and then be able to change it... but what if you can't find the font?
I suppose what I was really looking for in photoshop was some kind of text tool that would automatically detect font size/type/colour etc and let you input whatever you liked to replace what was already there |

there's no such tool.
you can make small changes to text by cutting out individual letters and rearranging them... but only if the letter you need are already there!
